Nuffield Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Oxford, John Radcliffe Hospital, Headington, Oxford, OX3 9DU (Received 9 February 1978) It has been shown that prostaglandins play an important role in the mechanism of parturition in many species, including the goat (Currie & Thorburn, 1977; Thorburn, Challis & Robinson, 1977). Recently we have demonstrated that intra-uterine tissues from pregnant goats, when superfused in vitro, produce prostaglandins E and F (PGE, PGF) and 13,14-dihydro-15-oxo-prostaglandin F at various rates (Mitchell, Flint, Robinson & Thorburn, 1978). The exciting discoveries of two potent prostaglandin-like compounds, thromboxane A2 (TXA2; Hamberg, Svensson & Samuelsson, 1975) and prostacyclin (PGI2; Moncada, Gryglewski, Bunting & Vane, 1976), have radically altered our thinking on prostaglandins and basic data are urgently required concerning these compounds. Since prostaglandin endoperoxides are the immediate precursors of both prostaglandins and TXA2 (and PGI2) and since TXA2 has been shown to cause contraction of a number

Productive Time

I reflect on my experience working with David Y. Mason in the Leukaemia Research Laboratories in the Nuffield Department of Pathology at the University of Oxford in the early 1980s. This was soon after the first monoclonal antibodies had been produced, which led to an exciting and productive time in biological discovery and pathology diagnostics. A specific focus in the laboratory was the development of immunoenzymatic staining methods that would enable monoclonal antibodies to be applied in diagnostic practice. This paper describes the work that led to the performance of immuno-alkaline phosphatase staining on blood and bone marrow smears, the success of which changed leukaemia diagnosis.
